Yang Yu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chenshi Chihuo. As a clan of fire, the body temperature of the Chihuo clan is not much different from that of ordinary people.
"Nice to meet you."
Looking at Yang Yu, Chen Shi showed a kind smile.
"I can feel the energy in your body, you really are worthy of being the representative of the plant family.
If you can successfully retake our city, we will, as agreed before, extract the racial essence from the warm fire stone for you to cure your wood disease.
We know exactly what it feels like to be tormented by illness.”
"Thank you, Patriarch."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dongmu held his chin with his hairy hands and said with a smile:
“Since we already know each other.
Then let’s quickly discuss the next battle plan.
It is not so easy to recapture the city of the Blazing Fire Clan.
General Potato, along the way, you must have seen the differences in architectural styles between different sub-races."
“I guess so, this is really an eye-opener.
There are really all kinds of races in this world."
"Well, you've been to the Elf Forest before, and you've seen the style of the elves.
It’s a great thing that you can accept it so smoothly.
Although the cities and settlements of the various subhuman races differ in architecture, it is easy to identify the walls and defensive facilities they built to defend against enemies.
However, the Blazing City we are going to attack next is different from the cities we have seen before."
Yang Yu asked: "How is it different?"
Dongmu raised his brows, not knowing how to explain.
"The city of the Blazing Clan is near the crater.
Compared to the area around Qinghe Volcano, it is relatively barren.
Their city is an invisible city.
The volcanic lava formed by past volcanic eruptions contains a lot of pyroxene and volcanic glass.
They would collect that stuff and put it in the pipes.”
Seeing that Dongmu was unable to explain clearly, Chenshi took over Dongmu's words:
“The city we built
We will dig halfway up the volcano, carve out a hollow area, and build a city in it.
Around the city, we built roads that connect to each other.
There are very beautiful crystals in volcanic lava, which our family likes very much.
We will either smelt and shape it, or use it directly to decorate our city."
After hearing this, Yang Yu immediately understood that the city of the Chihuo clan was most likely a large earthen kiln.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as an anthill in a volcano.
"Burying the city on the side of a volcano, what are you going to do if the volcano erupts?"
Chen Shi smiled:
"thanks for your concern.
We will not dig completely through the volcano, we will stop when we encounter solid rock.
The reason we build cities near volcanoes is to absorb the heat from the volcanoes.
Just as you plant species have the disease of wood transformation, we also have a special disease that troubles us.
If we don't take in a lot of heat regularly, our bodies will darken, become gradually stiff, and eventually turn into a complete sculpture.
Christmas is a very important festival for us. As long as we absorb enough calories on Christmas, we don’t need to consume any other calories for a year.
Celebrating the state of the volcano, as a race that lives with it day and night, we know it best.
Before the volcano actually erupts, we will seal off the city and go into hibernation.
Basically 90% of people can survive until the volcano's wrath subsides."
After opening the panel and confirming that he had not received any new tasks, Yang Yu said:
“So that’s how it is, but since your city is underground, it shouldn’t be an easy place to capture.
What kind of attack methods did the Rose Empire's troops use to drive you out of your city?"
Chen Shi showed helplessness, "We also thought that we don't have to be afraid of humans. As long as humans dare to step into our city, we can use many methods to make them never return.
But I don’t know what those despicable humans have put into our city.
After that thing exploded, our city turned into a vast expanse of white, and all the tribesmen couldn't stop crying and coughing.
The humans put on strange masks and fought nonchalantly in the smoke.
My people paid a lot of price to tear a hole in the human army, and escaped with some of their people and the Warm Fire Stone."
At this point, Yang Yu could see the black lines on Chen Shi's face.
The memory of that day was forever etched in his heart and could never be erased.
Judging from Chenshi’s description, humans have already developed tear gas and gas masks.
The technological progress in the Rose Empire is too fast.
Originally, a great suggestion was given to Forl Marling of the Library of All Things to make a mobile phone, but the Rose Empire directly produced a prototype.
However, Yang Yu was certain that the Rose Empire was able to make such things not by relying on its own strength to gradually build an industrial system.
It was with the help of some external force.
Could it be that a science and engineering guy traveled across time to the Rose Empire and started farming and advancing technology
Of course, this possibility is small.
Not to mention anything else, just from the communication box that Yang Yu got from Rose's soldier, making a dial-up system is much more secretive and secure than stacking folders one on top of another.
Yang Yu couldn't believe that the Rose Empire, which could even make the control panel of a cannon, couldn't even make a dial-up system.
Therefore, Yang Yu is more inclined to another more common setting—the Rose Empire has control over dangerous relics of ancient civilization and is continuously researching and investigating them.
The Rose Empire must also know that it is difficult to analyze the remains of ancient civilizations.
Since you can't get fat in one bite, just take small bites.
Finally, after the unremitting efforts of the Rose Empire, they touched the tip of the iceberg of the ancient civilization ruins, understood some of the principles of certain things, or were able to directly use some of the equipment of the ancient ruins.
The remains of that ancient civilization are like Pandora's box containing countless treasures.
Yang Yu had no idea what strange things the Rose Empire would come up with in the future. If a super weapon was accidentally activated, the world might be destroyed.
The longer this war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Wansheng Kingdom.
The winner must be decided before magic can defeat the opponent's technology.
If it is a timeline where the Demon King does not descend, the Rose Empire will definitely continue to endure for a few more years until its elite troops are fully mature and technology becomes popular. By then, the Wansheng Kingdom will be powerless to resist.
But now that the "black swan" event of the devil's arrival has occurred, the Rose Empire is anxious.
Wansheng Kingdom must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a chance to turn the tables.
“The humans on the other side are truly unfathomable.
It seems that Wansheng Kingdom doesn't have much time left.
Chief Chenshi, I need you to provide more information so that I can come up with a better strategy."
